Some 1,300 Iranians have already volunteered to carry out suicide bombings against "the Israeli occupation of Palestine", this according to the administrator of the suicide bombing recruitment center to Finnish newspaper Hufvudstadsbladet.
Speaking with a reporter from the newspaper, Afrusa Rajafar, who runs the recruitment center, said that 1,300 people have already signed up for the once in a lifetime experience. Recruits go through relatively easy training says Rajafar: "all they have to know is how to push a button".
Rajafar said that most volunteers are well educated and have successful careers: Doctors, lawyers, university professors and students. About 30 percent of them are women and one in three is aged 20-40.
According to the Iranians the objective of suicide bombings is to defend Palestinians from Israelis, protect holy sites in Iraq and murder author Salman Rushdie. When asked how the murder of innocents can be justified Rajafar answered: "We see the situation in Palestine as a war where one side is armed with tanks and every type of weapon and the other side only has explosives belts."
Rajafar emphasized that the organization is an independent one and is not sponsored by the state. However the state doesn't interfere with their work she says. "I believe that the regime loves us," says Rajafar.

What these lunatics really need to do is go to a small uninhabited Persian Gulf Island - and practice!
LOL!
Responsibility is an interesting thing. We have to register our cars and ourselves as drivers, which makes the driving public an institution of the state. Is the government directly responsible for how we drive? The press is an institution of the state. Is the government directly responsible for what the NYT publishes?
So, the the government is responsible for some state institutions and not for others. The government is then just another institution of the state. The state is responsible even when the government is not. But, since the government is not the responsible party, how can elected officials of the government be called to account? So, who can? Anybody? Who is responsible?
That's right. No one is responsible. So who did the bombers register with? Which agency?
